Acceptance is important for successful adoption of new technology. This study assessed the level of acceptability of electronic and paper-based Standardized Nursing Care Plans templates among nurses in a tertiary health facility in North Central Nigeria. Adopting a comparative design, data were collected from 32 nurses working in two medical units of a tertiary health facility who had earlier been introduced to an electronic and Paper-based Standardized Nursing Care plan (SNCPs) templates. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the nurses. Data was computed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 and analyzed using frequency distribution, independent t-test, and Multiple Regression. The result showed that the electronic SNCPs were accepted by all nurses working in the electronic ward while only 2(12.5%) of nurses in the paper word did not accept the paper SNCPs. There was no significant difference in the level of nurses’ acceptability of SNCPs (t-value = 1.400, p = 0.172). Also, only nurses’ years of experience had a statistically significant relationship with acceptance. Providing adequate training would enhance nurses use SNCPs in either electronic or paper formats.
接受是成功采用新技术的重要因素。本研究评估了尼日利亚中北部一家三级医疗机构的护士对电子和纸质标准化护理计划模板的接受程度。采用比较设计,收集了在一家三级卫生设施的两个医疗单位工作的32名护士的数据,这些护士早先已被引入电子和基于纸张的标准化护理计划(SNCPs)模板。采用结构化问卷对护士进行数据收集。数据采用SPSS第20版进行计算,采用频率分布、独立t检验和多元回归进行分析。结果显示,电子病房护士均接受电子sncp,而纸质病房护士中仅有2人(12.5%)不接受纸质sncp。护士对sncp的接受程度差异无统计学意义(t值= 1.400,p = 0.172)。此外,只有护士的工作年限与接受度有统计学意义的关系。提供适当的培训将加强护士使用电子或纸质格式的sncp。

Several studies showed circulating oxidative markers being significantly high in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) women when compared with women without PCOS thus oxidative markers may be considered as potential inducer of PCOS pathogenesis. However some previous studies show inconsistent findings among PCOS patients hence, more studies are necessary to further investigate such relationships involving antioxidants and PCOS, especially in our clime where there is paucity of data relating PCOS and oxidative stress marker. Our aim therefore, was to determine the activities of oxidative stress markers in patients with PCOS. This prospective study was carried out on 45 female clients with PCOS aged between 27 and 50 years and their results were compared with 45 healthy age matched controls. The serum was used to estimate the levels of Malondialdehide (MDA), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Glutathione S-reductase (GSH), activities in both patients and controls. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The mean serum levels of SOD, MDA and GSH were statistically significantly higher in women with PCOS than in control. There was statistically significant positive correlation between Folicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Leutenizing Hormone (LH), SOD, MDA and Age. Higher serum MDA, SOD and GSH levels in PCOS patients compared with the controls in this study, similar to previous studies may be attributed to a compensatory response by the body's defense mechanisms to higher circulating levels of oxidants. No statistical significance difference in the mean catalase activity when PCOS patients were compared with controls. In conclusion, serum MDA and antioxidant enzymes are higher in PCOS patients, pointing to the fact that oxidative stress is more prevalent among these patients with PCOS, therefore it will not be out of place to evaluate with PCOS for oxidative stress, irrespective of their reproductive disorders.
多项研究表明,与未患PCOS的女性相比,多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)女性的循环氧化标志物明显较高,因此氧化标志物可能被认为是PCOS发病机制的潜在诱导剂。然而,以往的一些研究结果在PCOS患者中并不一致,因此,需要更多的研究来进一步探讨抗氧化剂与PCOS之间的关系,特别是在我们缺乏PCOS与氧化应激标志物相关数据的气候条件下。因此,我们的目的是确定PCOS患者氧化应激标志物的活性。本前瞻性研究对45名年龄在27岁至50岁之间的女性多囊卵巢综合征患者进行了研究,并将其结果与45名健康年龄匹配的对照组进行了比较。血清用于评估丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽s -还原酶(GSH)在患者和对照组中的水平。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)对数据进行分析。多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)患者血清SOD、MDA和GSH水平均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义。促卵泡激素(FSH)、letenizing Hormone (LH)、SOD、MDA与年龄有统计学意义的正相关。本研究中,多囊卵巢综合征患者血清MDA、SOD和GSH水平高于对照组,与之前的研究类似,这可能归因于机体防御机制对较高循环氧化剂水平的代偿反应。PCOS患者的过氧化氢酶活性与对照组比较,差异无统计学意义。综上所述,PCOS患者血清MDA和抗氧化酶水平较高,说明PCOS患者中氧化应激更为普遍,因此,无论其生殖障碍如何,用PCOS评估氧化应激并不合适。

In the developing countries, drug administration in children under the age of five is a task mostly undertaken by mothers. Parental practices in the use of antibiotics   in children can determine the extent of the therapeutic benefit and the development of resistance. This study investigated mothers’ practices on use of antibiotics in children and determined the possible socio-demographic predictors of good practice. Mothers of at least a child under the age of five were interviewed to determine their use of antibiotics in children and summary and inferential statistical analysis were conducted. Of the 313 mothers interviewed, 119(38%) had overall poor practice. One hundred and eighty-eight (60.1%) used antibiotics when their children had catarrh and sore throats, 195(62.3%) stopped giving antibiotics when their children felt better before completing the dose, 260(83.1%) saved some antibiotics at home in case of future use, 126(40.3%) gave antibiotics without the doctor’s prescription. Older mothers had a greater likelihood to save some antibiotics at home in case of future use, OR=1.087,95%CI-1.016-1.163,  increasing age of first child decreases the odds of requesting antibiotics from the doctor OR=0.989, 95% CI:0.981-0.997 while increasing number of children had almost a two-fold increase on the likelihood to request for antibiotics, OR=1.624,95% CI=1.05-2.386. Attaining a tertiary level of education had over a two-fold (OR=2.337, 95% CI=1.063-5.137) and a three-fold (OR=3.262,95% CI= 1.566-6.802) increase on the odds of giving antibiotics to a child without a doctor’s advice and reading information leaflets respectively. There was a significant difference between self- perceived practice level and actual practice level (P=0.01). A good proportion of mothers had less than adequate antibiotics practice levels and some demographic factors predicted practice. Advocacy should be employed to improve practices associated with antibiotics use in children in the developing countries.
在发展中国家,五岁以下儿童的药物管理工作主要由母亲承担。父母对儿童使用抗生素的做法可以决定治疗益处的程度和耐药性的发展。本研究调查了母亲对儿童使用抗生素的做法,并确定了良好做法的可能的社会人口预测因素。对至少有一个5岁以下儿童的母亲进行访谈,以确定她们在儿童中使用抗生素的情况,并进行总结和推断统计分析。在接受采访的313名母亲中,119名(38%)总体做法不佳。188名家长(60.1%)在孩子有黏膜炎和喉咙痛时使用抗生素,195名家长(62.3%)在孩子服药前感觉好转后停止使用抗生素,260名家长(83.1%)在家中保留一些抗生素以备将来使用,126名家长(40.3%)在没有医生处方的情况下使用抗生素。年龄较大的母亲更有可能在家中保存一些抗生素以备将来使用,OR=1.087,95%CI = 1.016-1.163,增加第一胎的年龄降低了向医生要求抗生素的几率OR=0.989, 95%CI:0.981-0.997,而增加孩子的数量几乎增加了两倍的可能性,OR=1.624,95% CI=1.05-2.386。接受过高等教育的儿童在没有医生建议和阅读信息传单的情况下给予抗生素的几率分别增加了两倍(OR=2.337, 95% CI=1.063-5.137)和三倍(OR=3.262,95% CI= 1.566-6.802)。自我感知练习水平与实际练习水平有显著差异(P=0.01)。相当比例的母亲抗生素使用水平不足,一些人口统计学因素预测了这种做法。应采取宣传措施,改善发展中国家儿童使用抗生素的做法。

This study compared the stress, anxiety and depression level reported by medical and nursing students in the first two years of their clinical training (i.e medical students in 4th and 5th year; Nursing students in the 3rd and 4th year). Descriptive research design was employed and the sample size of 102 was calculated by G power 3.1 using the difference between two independent means (two groups). A total of 51 medical and 51 nursing students studying at Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso were randomly recruited. Depression, Anxiety and Stress questionnaire (DASS 21) was adopted for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out. Medical students reported higher mild depression (78.5%) and mild anxiety (82.4%) but lower mild stress (64.7%) compared with Nursing students viz. mild depression (68.6%), mild anxiety (76.5%) and mild stress (72.5%). Students older than 20 years experienced more depression (t=-3.51, p=0.001), anxiety (t=-3.625, p=0.000) and were more stressed (t=-7.86, p=0.000) compared to those less than 20 years. Also male students are more anxious (t=2.01, p=0.04) and more stressed (t=2.26, p=0.03) compared with female students. Students who had never repeat a course were more depressed (t=2.30, p=0.000), more anxious (t=-5.320, p= 0.000) and more stressed (t=4.904, p=0.000) than those who had repeated a course. Though not significant, medical students are more anxious and depressed than nursing students and nursing students are more stressed than medical students. Age and gender of the students affected the level of stress, depression and anxiety. Therefore, medical and nursing students should be taught on coping strategies to sustain their mental health.  
本研究比较了医学生与护学生临床实习前两年(即医学生四、五年级;护理专业的三年级和四年级学生)。采用描述性研究设计,样本量102,采用两独立均数(两组)之差,采用G幂3.1计算。随机招募在Ogbomoso Bowen大学教学医院学习的51名医科学生和51名护理学生。采用抑郁、焦虑和压力问卷(DASS 21)进行数据收集。进行了描述性和推断性统计。医学生的轻度抑郁(78.5%)和轻度焦虑(82.4%)高于护生,轻度抑郁(68.6%)、轻度焦虑(76.5%)和轻度压力(72.5%)低于护生。与20岁以下的学生相比,20岁以上的学生经历了更多的抑郁(t=-3.51, p=0.001)、焦虑(t=-3.625, p=0.000)和压力(t=-7.86, p=0.000)。男学生的焦虑程度(t=2.01, p=0.04)和压力程度(t=2.26, p=0.03)均高于女学生。与复读过课程的学生相比,从未复读过课程的学生更抑郁(t=2.30, p=0.000),更焦虑(t=-5.320, p=0.000),压力更大(t=4.904, p=0.000)。医学生的焦虑抑郁程度高于护生,护生的压力程度高于医学生,但差异不显著。学生的年龄和性别影响压力、抑郁和焦虑水平。因此,医、护学生应学习应对策略,以维持心理健康。

Students who had never repeat a course were more depressed (t=2.30, p=0.000), more anxious (t=-5.320, p= 0.000) and more stressed (t=4.904, p=0.000) than those who had repeated a course. Though not significant, medical students are more anxious and depressed than nursing students and nursing students are more stressed than medical students. Age and gender of the students affected the level of stress, depression and anxiety. Therefore, medical and nursing students should be taught on coping strategies to sustain their mental health.  ","PeriodicalId":23292,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90965815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insecticide Treated Net (ITN) has been established to be the most cost effective malaria vector control measure if used correctly. However, the use of ITN for other purposes other than its primary purpose is common. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence and pattern of misuse of ITNs among household heads. A descriptive cross sectional survey was conducted among 422 household heads selected through multi stage sampling procedure using a validated interviewer administered questionnaire (r= 0.72) and analyzed with SPSS software The result of this study revealed the mean age of respondents’ was 33.38±7.46 and 39.5% was in the 40-49 age brackets. Only 37.4% of the respondents slept inside the nets the night prior to data collection.72.5% of the respondents were found in possession of net not used for sleeping out of which more than half (38.7%) used ITNs as window curtains, 19.3% used as night wrapper, 12.9% as fishing nets, 11.3% as protective device from garden animals, 10.5% used as football goal post and 7.3% used the net to cover market goods. There was a statistically significant relationship between ITN misuse and respondents’ educational attainment (r=.304) and gender (r=.399) at (p<0.05). In conclusion, the study revealed a high prevalence of ITN misuse among the respondents in the community. There is need for community based health promotion intervention to encourage correct usage of ITNs and reduce misuse.
经证实,如果使用得当,经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐(ITN)是最具成本效益的疟疾病媒控制措施。但是,将ITN用于其主要目的以外的其他目的是很常见的。本研究的目的是调查家庭户主滥用ITNs的流行程度和模式。采用多阶段抽样方法对422户户主进行了描述性横断面调查(r= 0.72),并采用SPSS软件进行分析。研究结果显示,受访者的平均年龄为33.38±7.46岁,其中39.5%的受访者年龄在40-49岁之间。只有37.4%的受访者在数据收集前一晚睡在网内,72.5%的受访者被发现拥有非用于睡觉的网,其中超过一半(38.7%)的人将网用作窗帘,19.3%的人将网用作夜间覆盖物,12.9%的人将网用作渔网,11.3%的人将网用作花园动物的防护装置,10.5%的人将网用作足球门柱,7.3%的人将网用于覆盖市场商品。ITN滥用与被调查者的受教育程度(r= 0.304)和性别(r= 0.399)有统计学意义(p<0.05)。总之,该研究揭示了社区受访者中滥用ITN的高流行率。有必要进行以社区为基础的健康促进干预,以鼓励正确使用ITNs并减少滥用。
